Harvey Weinstein’s Conviction Is Overturned by New York’s Top Court

1. Apparently it took four years for the bribes to clear.

2. It’s good that California convicted him as well.

3. This is an appalling F-up by the presiding DA at the time, Cyrus Vance, Jr., who also has a track record of protecting the powerful, like none other than [Donald Trump and Weinstein himself](https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/why-didnt-manhattan-da-cyrus-vance-prosecute-the-trumps-or-harvey-weinstein). Makes one wonder if this is intentional prosecutorial malfeasance.

5. #MeToo has been #Defeated

   Edit: haha, #Thanks Concerned redditor. #HollywoodIsBack.

6. OJ dead, Weinstein free, rap civil war, Diddy about to be crucified…

   2024 is a roller coaster

7. New York Court of Appeals have also reduced Donald Trump’s bond.

8. Here before the lock

9. Tax dollars at work. Let his victims walk him out of prison and promptly throw him into oncoming nyc traffic, that’s a movie I’d watch.

10. Article states he is still going to be imprisoned as a positive note.

    Still, I can’t help but wonder if the media circus ultimately did him a favor in this particular instance.

11. Hmm… such convenient timing, perhaps to distract from police forcefully shutting down certain protests across the country? 🤔

12. Well that’s infuriating

13. It’s ridiculous that something as serious as a rape conviction could be overturned with a 4-3 vote. It should have to be unanimous for these types of serious crimes.

14. Look at that fat bastard🤢🤢🤮

15. So the issue is they had more people come forward that where raped than they anishly knew about . And what didn’t book enough seats .

16. Corrupt appeals court justices. How much have they been paid? How much did they get for lowering trumps bond ? How much did they get for letting a company that is not licensed in NYS to hold the lowered bond? The rich and famous just pay their way through the justice system to avoid consequences

17. This is so messed up. I wonder who he blackmailed to make this happen?

18. He still has 16 years for raping a person in California. He’s 72. He’s probably going to die in prison still.

19. Hope he doesn’t escape in the New York hidden tunnels

20. I’m stunned the prosecutors allowed women to testify against him who weren’t relevant to the charges against him.

    I mean come on.
